Re: Horry=One of the top clutch shooters of all time...

that dunk was sick for a guy in his mid 30's.

i am shocked that he only gets paid the vet. min. his 4th quarter performance tonight most likely determined the championship this year. SA does not win this game w/o horry. i think detroit can win one in SA, no way they get two.

Re: Horry=One of the top clutch shooters of all time...

Yea.. he is a great clutch player, thats all... but HOF? Not even close! Career 7 ppg, 1 apg, 1 spg, 0.5 bpg, 4 rpg and he is a Forward/Center... sure he has Rings, but he aint got something to back him up with... just my opinion

Re: Horry=One of the top clutch shooters of all time...

im guessing duncan gives him a nice bonus check after tonites performance.....he single handedly bailed duncan out of many nitemares for years to come....duncan is the best player in the world, but the last few minutes of regulation were not some of his most memorable moments...u almost felt sorry for the guy....

He does all the things that are intangible. Numbers and stats don't always win titles. Horry was helped the Lakers, Rockets, and Spurs to win multiple championship with unbelievable clutch playing.

Re: Horry=One of the top clutch shooters of all time...

Extremely sad, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Anderson was a good guy. His best friend in Chicago was killed in high school. He was a basketball standout.

The freethrows are bound to still haunt him, as I'm sure the timeout still haunts Cwebb.

i just read an article about nick just within the last 2 weeks....they did haunt him....and to a certain extent still do....pretty good read....talking about how the orlando magic kinda let him out to dry after that....hed like to be a part of the organization and they havent really taken him in....i think he was the first player drafted by the magic if im not mistaken...if u do a news search on him u probably find it....

Re: Horry=One of the top clutch shooters of all time...

All I meant by it is that the poster 3ptmiller said Horry doesn't deserve to be in Hall of Fame because of his stats but I say he should because of his continious amazing performances in clutch games.

I said only that he aint got nothing else to back him up with to be a HOF... the lucky robert horry is only a clutch shooter (notice the "only")... example Reggie was maybe the greatest clutch shooter in NBA History and he had many stuff to back him up with and he aint even a HOF... and u want Horry to be a HOF!?!?

I know that stats is very disrespectfull, but it actually shows very many things... proofs how good you are... what you have done... what you can do at your best...

Who says Reggie won't be a Hall of Famer? He will be a first ballot HOF'er.

Robert Horry may not be a first ballot Hallof Famer but he deserves to get in. He single handely won the game tonight and hence the Spurs NBA Championship. Without him, Lakers wouldn't have gotten past Kings.

Why is Big Shot Bob lucky? That's what he does and he always turns it on in clutch performances. He is just a clutch player and is a very valuable member for the Spurs. As Duncan said, he just doesn't try until when it really counts. He just "hangs out".

Dont get me wrong, i love Robert Horry... because i love Clutch players.. What is better? Jordan scores 50 pts on you, and you got only 3 pts (the game winning shot)... which is sweeter? Clutch shots brings joy and feelings to people and people think "Damn he is so good!" even tho he could be a bad player...

What i mean by Lucky is because he is lucky to get to shoot those last second shots and in whatever team he goes to the Coach want HIM to shoot the ball.. even tho he got better players...

And yes Horry had a great game and won the game, but that was his Season High 21 pts and 5-6 3PT.. he didnt shoot that good in Years! This is where the "stats" come in.. First if you look at his stats you will see that he never shot 83% Accuracy from the 3PT Line and he have never averaged 21 pts a game... This means that he was HOT..very HOT this game...

and this is where "Lucky" comes in.. he was Lucky to be HOT that game and he was Lucky that the game was Tied and HE was gona take the shot.. Do you really think he would still be the chosen one to shoot that shot if he wasnt HOT that game? Pure Luck.. understand?

If he wasnt Lucky and was just him average self with his 30% accuracy from 3PT Line... means he would get only 7 pts at tops and from 6 3PT attempts he would hit 2 shots... understand? This means he was LUCKY.. but thats just another word for HOT i guess..

Re: Horry=One of the top clutch shooters of all time...

3PtMiller,

As Tim Duncan says, he turns up his game in clutch situations. He elevates his game to a whole different level. That's just who he is. Robert Horry doesn't care about statistics, he just cares about getting more rings on his fingers. I think he wants one for each finger and possibly his toes too.

Yea i know... but im talking about HOF, what those people look in a player.. if you look at all those players in HOF you will see the greatest players who played the game... Horry is great clutch player, but comon? That would be great tho if he becomes a HOF, then its prooved that you dont need stats to be one of the greatest... i want that to happen!

You're correct, he was the first player ever selected by the Magic, in 1989 I believe.

Did he mess up by missing those 4 freethrows? Obviously, yes. But that was just one game. If Orlando was capable of beating Houston in that series, Shaq and Penny would have found a way to lead the team to a couple of victories.
